Indiana's 2024 ACS housing baseline reports a median owner-occupied home value of $218,200, median household income of $71,957, and median selected monthly owner costs of $1,404 for owners with a mortgage. In practical terms, those three reference points may help a borrower identify which statewide value, income, and recurring-cost assumptions need local replacement first. They remain separate medians, not the price, income, and monthly budget of one typical household, and the $1,404 measure is not a real-estate-tax figure or a current mortgage quote. For the decision at hand, a real decision continues to require local property evidence, borrower documentation, taxes, insurance, maintenance, association obligations, and current loan information.
For borrowers reviewing evidence from Indiana, read beside the 70.6% owner share and 29.4% renter share, the vacancy figure helps describe how the broad stock was classified without predicting near-term supply. In practical terms, borrowers should use current listings, property condition, days on market, concessions, and local professional context to answer transaction questions that 8.8% and 2,976,568 were not designed to resolve.
